"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." – John Muir

Welcome to Foxhole Community Garden

Foxhole Community Garden is a beautiful 0.7 acre site on the Dartington Estate alongside Old School Farm.In the garden is an orchard, fruit bushes, annual and perennial vegetable beds, a wildlife pond and wildlife habitats, willow domes, a firepit cooking area and mud kitchen play areas.

In 2015 Foxhole Garden Community Interest Company was formed with two key aims: to provide a safe space for vulnerable groups to enjoy gardening, and to create a thriving community garden offering space for local families and residents to learn about growing and cooking organic produce and to enjoy being outside together.

It’s a work in progress but since the initial community consultation in 2015 we have gone on to create a safe accessible garden. There is a lively timetable of events and activities, from parent and toddler groups, art and gardening workshops to regular volunteer days where people can get involved in any aspect of the garden which interests them.

We are proud of all the work we have done to create the garden as a welcoming space for local wildlife and folk. The work continues as we plant bulbs and trees, create habitats for humans and wildlife – all with the aim of turning this pasture into a productive paradise.
